Delhi's former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who was sent to judicial custody till March 20 by a special court today, can carry a copy of the Bhagavad Gita with him during his stay at Tihar jail. The court has also allowed him to have medicines prescribed in his medical examination.

Mr Sisodia, arrested on February 26 in the Delhi liquor policy case, had sought the court's permission to also carry a pair of spectacles, a diary and a pen. The Rouse Avenue Court granted the permission.

The court also directed the Jail superintendent to consider the request of keeping the senior Aam Aadmi Party leader in a vipassana or meditation cell.

Special Judge MK Nagpal sent him to judicial custody for 14 days after noting that the CBI didn't demand further custody of him but it may be sought later if required.
